Monday Mumbles

The first full work week is back in effect today. We'll see how long I last before petering out and napping in the bathroom stall.

1. We have serious issues, folks. No TiVo or DVR for us. I haven't ever felt the need to have one, deeming any television I missed television not worth seeing. HOWEVER....the Bachelor has started and guess who has basketball practice during most of the show's length?

2. Hubs offered up a solution. Any of you young readers know what a "VCR" is?  Yeah, he thinks he could rig it for me. We shall see!

3. Speaking of basketball, Turner's team (my team since I'm Coach) won their first game! I was relieved to get that first game out of the way and excited to see how the kids responded to the competition. Too bad the opposing coach took exception to the fact that he lost.

4. My mom's dog is so utterly pathetic. He's got Separation Anxiety and just sits around like the mopiest, saddest dog whenever my mom leaves him somewhere.

5. Evie is OJ's shadow. She is his nemesis, she is his biggest fan. The sibling relationship they have is going to be so much fun to watch.

6. Friday night, Hubs and I went out to dinner to the Olive Garden. One of the best parts about the OG is the mint they give you at the end of the meal. Our waitress brought the check, we paid our bill, and she thought she was done with us. She forgot our mints, however, and Hubs kindly sat at the table until she swung back by and asked for his mint. Apparently she was really sorry she'd forgotten, or she got a kick out of a grown man's patience for mints. She brought back an entire to-go container of them. I laughed so hard on the way out, I fell off the curb.

7. I tried out two new meals over the weekend. One was a sour cream and green chilies chicken enchilada. My friend found it on this blog, and I thought I'd try it. It wasn't bad at all, and Till really liked them, but I know I will always prefer to bake or crock pot my chicken instead of boiling it. Lesson learned. The other was a standard chicken pot pie, but baked in biscuit cups instead of the regular casserole. The kids really liked that, so it was a win.

8. Hubs thinks he's too sexy to work out. So he doesn't. I think he has a woman booty. So he shakes it.

9. OJ will spontaneously tell family members that he loves them, if he's "feeling it". He might be playing near them, they might have helped him out with something, and he'll interrupt simply to say, "I love you, Grandma." It catches my family off guard because we're not typically the affectionate type, but I think they like it.

10. Last night, as I laid Sissy down, I said as I always do, "I love you, Evie. Night night." As I about closed the door, I heard her say, "Mama?" I said yes?, and she said, "I wuh woo." Yummy baby.
